Tsabo Tavoc Havoc

I remember Baneslayer hype! That's around the time I started my shift from Legacy into EDH.
An-Zerrin Ruins this is a blue card. Maybe white. How it ended up in red is beyond me. Look thru any non tribal deck you have. Now check out the creatures. I guarantee there is unintentional tribal overlap. Worse case scenario it only locks down one commander. In Rakdos? Worth it.
Bend or Break and Do or Die are just nice niche Invasion rares in solidarity with the commander. Was originally Thoughts of Ruin.
Blessing is a fantastic pauper card but Gift of Doom is forever :) yes it cost more but if Bitterblossom or Nether Spirit are online than Tsabo reaches her final form for 3 colorless.

Horde Magic (Suggested) Ban List
4 years ago
It's an old card but An-Zerrin Ruins is right alongside Urabrask the Hidden in shutting a typical Horde down. Tsabo's Decree is there too. I'm pulling these from https://www.mtgnexus.com/viewtopic.php?t=623 which also discourages infinite combos, since the Horde can't react.
I'm curious about your damage reduction choices. I haven't seen one used against a Horde-- are they really that crippling? If so, I might suggest Urza's Armor .

Gruul. More options = more fun. Rats can be fun, but so narrow. Once you've done it...
Also, what griffstick said. You know what black sucks at? Artifact/enchantment removal.
Obviously not all decks run these cards, but it's not that difficult to get locked out entirely, never mind not winning.

Some cards right off the bat are, Tidings, Star of Extinction (Although that card is sooooo COOL), Rise from the Tides, Beacon Bolt, Aftershock, Out of Bounds, An-Zerrin Ruins
There are a lot of ways you can improve the deck, but what is the way you want to win? On an additional note, I'm assuming your under a budget as well as I see a lot of these cards are from the most recent sets. I can provide a list for cheap staples that would improve the deck leaps and bounds.
JoJoem on Creature-Type Hate Deck

I'm looking to create a deck that does three things efficiently:
- Be able to single out particular creature-type and Debilitate/Remove/Use them
- Make it very excruciating for opponents to have creatures, especially of certain types
- Apply creature-types for shenanigans.
Budget isn't an issue as I plan on acquiring the pieces overtime, although I wouldn't mind not spending more than I really have to.
My playgroup has a lot of creature theme going on that work very well. I'm aiming to wreck their fun. I'm currently leaning on Olivia Voldaren to build upon but am open to suggestions.
Other cards that helped inspire the concept:

I know it doesn't fit your gameplay much but I would think about adding some countrol/removal to the deck.
If someone plays a Torpor Orb effect, Humility or An-Zerrin Ruins you need answers or else you'll be doomed.
Good luck with your deck it's pretty kickass.
